Erin Molan has welcomed a baby girl

The Footy Show host Erin Molan has welcomed a baby girl named Eliza Emily Ogilvy.
Eliza is the first child for Molan, 35, and fiancé Sean Ogilvy, who have been engaged since early 2017.

A Nine spokesperson confirms to 9Honey that Molan welcomed her daughter on Wednesday morning - rather fittingly, the day of the State of Origin series opener.

"Everyone at Nine is so happy for Erin and Sean and the safe arrival of beautiful Eliza," the spokesperson says.

"We wish them well for the start of the next exciting phase, and look forward to meeting the new Blues supporter when she is ready. Congratulations from all."

Molan discovered she was pregnant while on holiday in Bali in December 2017, later announcing the “slightly terrifying but beautiful” news on Nine News Sydney.

Speaking to 9Honey at the time, the sports reporter admitted she and Ogilvy were nervous about the prospect of being first-time parents, adding, “Hopefully Google can give us all the answers!”

The pregnancy news came eight months after they became engaged, and prompted them to postpone their wedding.

"It hasn't been one of those ideal pregnancies," she told 9Honey in March.

"I'm still pretty sick, but I think I'll just accept that I'm one of those women who'll just be sick throughout."

On the latest episode of 9Honey’s Honey Mums podcast, Molan said she intended to return to work “very soon” after giving birth, but would do “whatever is best for bubba”.

“I’m very blessed in that my schedule is so good that I go from a Thursday afternoon to a Sunday afternoon, and then I’m a full-time mum from Sunday arvo to Thursday arvo,” she told host Deborah Knight.

"I think we’ll get the balance right, but there’s probably mothers out there laughing at me thinking, ‘God, you’ve got absolutely no idea’."
Ahead of her daughter's birth, Molan said there was one moment in particular she was excited to witness: "I just can’t wait to see Sean hold the baby for the first time, to be honest.”
